Note about a Bronze Age hoard from the north of the Republic of Moldova and some considerations about the winged axes to the east of the Carpathians

Summary/Abstract: Starting from an old archaeological discovery from the north of the Republic of Moldova, the authors resume the discussion concerning a bronze hoard, from which only a winged axe has been preserved. Although it was attributed to the Bronze Age, in fact the metal accumulation is specific to the Early Iron Age. In this context, the authors discuss other discoveries of winged axes from the area between the Eastern Carpathians and the Dniester, such as those from Mîndrești, “Suceava” and Ruginoasa. These artefacts are specific to Central Europe, at the east of the Carpathians being found very rarely and only among the contents of bronze hoards
